Camp Description: No need to run away and join the circus when you can be part of Camp Carnival, a two-week Puppetry and Circus Arts Camp for ages 9-15. This camp is a unique opportunity to explore the worlds of circus and puppetry together under the guidance of professionals who have decades of experience. Try your hand at aerial arts, clowning, juggling, stilt walking, hooping! Unleash your imagination with puppets and learn how to make them! This camp will allow you to get a taste of both worlds initially, with the option to focus on one or the other—or both! Life is a Carnival at this unique, first-of-its-kind-camp in Richmond.
Camp Carnival runs weekdays from August 14-25. Classes will be held from 9am-3:30pm in the Genworth Brightlights Education Center located on the third floor of Dominion Arts Center: 600 E. Grace Street, Richmond, VA 23219. Registration: $450.
